The company announced on Tuesday that its Swiss distribution partner Astrasana Holding AG had received the shipment containing medical cannabis extracts.

“Clever Leaves’ first commercial shipment of medical cannabis extracts to Astrasana in Switzerland marks a significant step towards our goal of expanding patient access to high-quality medical cannabis across Europe and beyond,” said Andres Fajardo, CEO and Co-Founder of Clever Leaves.

“The supply agreement guarantees Astrasana a reliable and consistent supply of medical cannabis extracts at competitive prices, providing planning certainty and allowing for seamless operations,” said Astrasana’s CEO Yves Antoniazzi.
